I am a Martian

September 18, 2008

We are not the same, I am a Martian
So approach my Phantom doors with caution
You see them 24’s spinnin? I earned them
I ain’t no preacher but here’s my Erick Sermon

Artist: The Game
Song: My Life

New Category: Fresh Rhymes

September 18, 2008

I don’t know how long this “Fresh Rhymes” category will last, but I’m putting it up now because there are so many examples of excellent wordplay out there.

I only wish I could be so quick and on point as some of the examples I will be posting soon.

Metallica is BACK!

September 16, 2008

I never thought I’d hear or see the day when Metallica starts recovering from their recent shittiness. I remember asking former co-worker Eddie James a few months back: “What if Metallica’s next album is totally awesome?”

I was joking at the time, but as it turns out, Metallica’s most recent album is indeed quite awesome!

Considering the circumstances of reality, the new Metallica album (Death Magnetic) doesn’t blow me completely away like their first 4 albums, but it certainly seems to have the capability to do so once I’ve listened to it as many times as the first 4. I’m totally stoked and relieved that Metallica, once the greatest metal band ever, is starting to push back into that position.

And here is the true Metallica discography, according to me:

  • Kill ‘Em All, 1983

  • Ride the Lightning, 1984

  • Master of Puppets, 1986

  • …And Justice for All, 1988

  • Death Magnetic, 2008

As you can see, it’s been a long, long time coming…

The Highway I Take to Work

September 13, 2008

Here’s a sweet panorama of highway 36 heading into Boulder, CO. As you scroll to the right, you will notice how sloppy I am when it comes to iPhone photography and half-assed image stitching. But the mountains should make up for it.

It’s from a dvd cover, which may or may not be weak, but damn. Here’s a photo of the piece in progress:

The hammer is there to provide dramatic tones and intimidating imagery…
